How to Find Release and Relief From Anxiety and Loneliness

Nov. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Life after trauma often encompasses addiction, anxiety and a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. This week, on ‘Your Life After Trauma’, speakers from The National Trauma and Addictive Disorders Conference in Delray Beach, FL, address how to overcome these issues with strength, confidence and sometimes, a sense of humor. This week on 'Your Life After Trauma' we will feature Reid Wilson, Ph.D. and Pat Love, Ed. D. who will talk to us about  how to reduce anxiety and move out of isolation into reconnection with yourself and the world. The show airs Thursday, November 3rd at 7pm EST, on Seaview Radio (95.9AM/106.9FM/960AM) and streams online at http://www.yourlifeaftertrauma.com. Call in with your questions: 877.960.9960.

According to Michele Rosenthal, host of ‘Your Life After Trauma’,  "The sense of disconnection from oneself, family, community and even the world can be frightening and excruciating after a trauma. Too often anxiety and loneliness become 'the new normal'. Luckily, there are easy steps to combat and overcome these issues. The possibility of relief, and how survivors can themselves achieve that is what I expect to uncover in this show."
